Chat Thread: Beginner

Greetings! This thread is the central hub for beginner-level students to gather and chat in Japanese. Romaji is acceptable, but generally frowned upon. Writing in kanji is definitely FORBIDDEN. From this point on, all chats should be IN JAPANESE. GOGOGO. It doesn't matter if you don't have something epic or inspiring to say, just type type type. Try to post as often as you can. Also, your post doesn't even have to follow on from what the last person wrote. As long as you have something to write, and you're writing it in Japanese, it's aaaaalllll good. Now, let's start shall we?

のほうが…より can be used to express the comparative degree. Things that precede の ほうが are more X (fast-er, slow-er, more expensive, tall-er, etc) to things that precede より. For example, ワインの ほうが ビールより たかい です。 expresses the idea that wine is more expensive than beer.
